This shows that municipalities care about climate change. I guess the general population cares about the environment and global warming. My score on their calculator was 400 but at least I am trying. Here is the link to the website that published the list of cites and where the carbon calculator can be found: www.earthlab.com. The test took me like 5 minutes tops, and then maybe another 2 minutes to find the pledges I wanted. Pretty cool application.

It brought a lump to my throat. The only way to get past pain is to face it--then move through it, to come out the other side and once again feel good about oneself. This requires courage, focus, and the ability to withstand some pain. This will elevate our threshhold for pain and so the next bout will be that much easier. Shouldering pain together, as a human race, nurtures and bonds us. Thanks for sharing this heartfelt prose. Moving poem. It brought a lump to my throat.
